The Ballon d'Or, the Ballon d'Or Feminin, the Kopa Trophy and the Yashin Trophy will be awarded on October 17 in Paris in a lavish ceremony at Theatre du Chatelet. The ceremony starts at 19:30 UK time.

Karim Benzema is the hot favourite to win the men's award while Alexia Putellas of Barcelona is expected to win the women's award, with competition from England and Arsenal's Beth Mead amongst others.

Ad Awards for the best goalkeeper — the Yashin Trophy — and the best young player in the world — the Kopa Trophy — will also be awarded at the Ballon d'Or ceremony.
